In article <alpine.BSF.2.11.1407251459370.72188_at_wonkity.com> you write:

Indeed, it's pretty trivial.

I think the sort of article Craig was looking for was more on the
order of

	apt command		pkg command
	apt-get update		pkg update (*1)
	...			...

(*1) Explanation of differences between how apt behaves and how pkg
behaves.

The set of common apt operations is pretty well-known, and most of
them have direct pkg(8) equivalents.
